What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 July 2022
Pupils are happy at Netherfield School. They enjoy coming here. Pupils say that they feel safe because staff care and listen to them. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive. Leaders promote pupils' well-being. They have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school's values of integrity, respect, kindness, honesty and perseverance are a central feature of this inclusive school. Pupils have positive attitudes towards their work and towards each other. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils are respectful of each other and adults. Their behaviour is positive in lessons and around the school site. Pupils say that bullying is rare. They trust staff to resolve incidents quickly. Pupils benefit from a range of extracurricular activities, including sports clubs, animation club and the newspaper club: 'Wowzer'. Pupils value opportunities to be leaders themselves. For example, pupils pass on their thoughts about how to improve the school to their elected pupil parliament. Many parents and carers are positive about the school. A common view is: 'The level of care, support and inclusion at Netherfield is second to none.'
What the school should improve
- In most lessons pupils' knowledge builds over time, and pupils revisit prior learning. However, not all pupils get the opportunities to deepen their knowledge so that they can explain their thinking. Leaders should ensure that all pupils get the opportunity to make connections between the things they have learned, and to explain them.
- Leaders have rewritten the curriculum from early years to Year 6. However, leaders have not ensured that the precise knowledge that pupils should remember has been identified in all subjects. Leaders should continue to refine the curriculum so that it is clear exactly what pupils should know, and by when, in all subjects. Leaders should make sure that all staff clearly understand this sequence.
